Feature common controls
The feature windows have common top and bottom bars
Top bar
1: Feature index
Displays the index of the feature in the list of features as "F" followed by semicolon and index number.
The tooltip displays the feature type name.
You may click on this area and drag the window with the mouse.
2: Common feature settings
Opens a dialog to update the common feature settings
2.1: Window title
Changes the feature window title
2.2: Reset title to default
Resets the title to the feature type name.
2.3: Toggle reverse API feature
Use this checkbox to toggle on/off the reverse API feature. With reverse API engaged the changes in the feature settings are forwarded to an API endpoint given by address (8.2.4), port (8.2.5), feature set index (8.2.6) and feature index (8.2.7) in the same format as the SDRangel REST API feature settings endpoint. With the values of the screenshot the API URL is: `http://127.0.0.1:8888/sdrangel/featureeset/0/feature/0/settings` The JSON payload follows the same format as the SDRangel REST API feature settings. Using the same example this would be:
```
{
"SimplePTTSettings": {
"reverseAPIAddress": "127.0.0.1",
"reverseAPIChannelIndex": 0,
"reverseAPIDeviceIndex": 0,
"reverseAPIPort": 8888,
"rgbColor": -65536,
"rx2TxDelayMs": 200,
"rxDeviceSetIndex": 0,
"title": "Simple PTT",
"tx2RxDelayMs": 200,
"txDeviceSetIndex": 1,
"useReverseAPI": 0
},
"featureType": "SimplePTT"
}
```
